Page 27: Conventions
This guide covers all the functionality available in the EFD1000 MFD and EFD500 MFD. The EFD500 MFD does not include an AHRS and ADC sensor, Secondary HSI, and does not support Reversionary mode. See Aspen Avionics document number 091-00005-001 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’ s Guide for complete instructions on the EFD1000 PFD.
Page 28: Table 1 Efd1000/500 Mfd Terminology
Term Definition NOTE A VIEW is the graphical content of a WINDOW. The VIEW presents specific The Secondary AI and HSI VIEWS do not display a information such as terrain, traffic, or weather. A VIEW is the same size as the name label.
Page 29: Pilot Interface Modes
Pilot Interface Modes The EFD1000/500 MFD has several interface modes described in Table 2. The current mode determines the functionality of the content-sensitive pilot controls. Term Definition When the EFD1000/500 MFD first initializes it is in PAGE (and VIEW) Selection mode. Rotating the Left Knob selects different PAGES. When PAGE PAGE Selection mode is active the Pg #/3 label above the Left Knob is magenta in color (# indicates the current page number).
Page 30: Color Philosophy
Color Philosophy Table 3 provides an overview of the color convention used on the EFD1000/500 MFD display. NOTE As the number of colors used on the display is limited, to ensure adequate color differentiation under all lighting conditions. There are a few cases where a given color is used in a slightly different context than described in the following table.
Page 31: Warnings, Cautions, And Notes
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes Where applicable; warnings, cautions, and notes are given. Aspen Avionics uses the icons and definitions described in Table 4. Icon Definition Emphasizes a crucial operating or maintenance procedure, which, if not strictly observed, could result in injury to, or death of, personnel or long Warning term health hazards.
Page 32: Example Graphics
While the EFD1000 is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) and Horizontal Situation Indicators (HSI) is required. Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new users of the EFD1000 get some dual instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some time becoming familiar with the PFD in day VFR conditions with a safety pilot, before flying in actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
Page 33: Welcome & Introduction
Chapter 1 Welcome & Introduction Welcome to Aspen Avionics’ Evolution Flight Display (EFD) system, the most flexible, expandable, and upgradable Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) available for General Aviation aircraft. The EFD system is designed to replace traditional, mechanical primary flight instruments—...
Page 34 Pilot, Pro and ATP—each with increasing levels of features and capabilities, and each lower model is upgradable through software to the more capable models. For detailed information on the PFD see Aspen Avionics document number 091-00005-001 EFD1000 PFD Pilot’ s Guide.
Page 35: Figure 1-4 Trio Display System: Pfd & Dual Mfds
You can even add another MFD, an EFD500 to round out a complete “six-pack” replacement and gain even more capability and flexibility (Figure 1-4). When you are ready to upgrade, simply contact an Aspen Avionics Authorized Dealer for more information.
Page 36: System Hardware
1.1. System Hardware Depending on the EFD configuration you have selected, you will have some, all or NOTE several of the following pieces of hardware installed in your aircraft. The EFD1000 MFD system typically consists of the following pieces of hardware: The EFD1000 MFD comes standard without emergency • EFD1000 display unit GPS.

Page 38: Efd500 Display
1.1.2. EFD500 Display The EFD500 MFD display is similar to the EFD1000 MFD display, but excludes the ADAHRS, Secondary HSI, and backup battery. The EFD500 can only be used as a Multi- Function Display (MFD). 1.1.3. Remote Sensor Module (RSM) (EFD1000 MFD only) The Remote Sensor Module (RSM) is an integral part of the EFD1000 system, and works together with the display unit sensors as part of the ADAHRS.
Page 39: Configuration Module (Cm)
1.1.4. Configuration Module (CM) The Configuration Module contains an EEPROM device that retains system configuration and calibration data and provides two primary functions (Figure 1-7): • Retains aircraft-specific configuration information, calibration data, and pilot settings, allowing the PFD to be swapped for service purposes without re-entering Figure 1-7 or re-calibrating the installation.
